I don't like it. You have two people already interested in this pot, some but not a ton of fold equity, and a terrible, terrible, terrible hand. If there were no callers I'd like this push a lot more.

It might be worth it to consider just completing and pushing at a raggy flop, or a flop that pairs you up.

5 handed. Not the bubble. Don't push this. It's awful.

if you were first in I would think it was a good play?

Anyone disagree?

First in it's a blatant push. With two limpers it's not. Gap concept baby.

I think you have to push this from SB. I see more and more BBs making loose calls when small SBs push though.

Thanks for the replies guys.

I know this is a certain push if I were able to open-push from the SB.

After I pushed I realized my mistake but wanted to confirm. I've also thought that this might be a marginally "ok" play if I had much more FE, ie if I covered 80-90% of the big stack involved in the hand -- although, then, I wouldn't be in need of the 450 chips on the table... so I guess its wrong/wrong unless I open-push.
